INDIANA -- A state Senate bill cracking down on illegal immigration will begin its journey through the Indiana House on Wednesday -- but not without some changes.
Senate Bill 335 will be amended to include $1.5 million in appropriations for the attorney general and State Police to pay for preparation costs and added enforcement duties mandated under the proposed law.
Whether the bill would get heard in the House was in question after Speaker B. Patrick Bauer, D-South Bend, said it would have to be better balanced in protecting good-faith businesses while punishing those profiteering from the low wages paid to illegal immigrants.
